I've taken the source code from NSEconomy, made a few changes, and created NSTracker: http://nstracker.retrogade.com. I've removed all the region-related stuff, so the program won't die on you if you're in a large region (like me ;) ). The biggest improvement, however, is the ability to add a "tracker" for your nation. NSTracker can store up to 30 records on your nation, and you can view line graphs for the following stats:

Income Tax Rate
Population
Government Budget Breakdown
Exchange Rate
GDP
GDP Per Capita
Unemployment Rate
Consumption
Government Budget
Government Expenditures
Government Waste
Imports

I've preserved all of the stats from NSEconomy (except for Exports, because I removed the region stuff), and I've added a pie graph for the Government Budget sectors. The trackers update each day at noon Eastern time (you can set your tracker to update as rarely as every two weeks, though). Also, if nobody views your nation's NSTracker stats for 30 days, your tracker and historical data are erased (to prevent excess buildup in the database). So go ahead and try it out, tell me what you think. I know it's not much graphically; I just finished working out the code, so I haven't had any time for style-related stuff ;)

Oh! now this is cool! :cool:

Wow, good job! Best first post award goes to...

COOL! I would like to see more visual stuff. Numbers are hard to imagine.

Wow, that really does put into perspective how much I spend on defense. Need to cut that number back, methinks.

This would probably serve better in International Incidents; therefore, moved.

Now I like this tracker, I do like it alot...

yes interesting

Genius! Pure genius! (I spend more money on my waste than I do on government education..)

Awesome job, site bookmarked, and thread tagged.


May I present you with the Best First Post Award...

site bookmarked cool pie chart and it is very fast compared to ns economy

I'm loving the compliments! :D

BTW, the site uses a cookie that stores the last nation you viewed, so when you go back, it'll remember it for you.

I've just finished add a feature that lets you compare two nations against each other. Under the stats listing, there's now a "Compare Nation" section. Enter the nation's name in the box and click Submit Query, and you'll see the two nations side-by-side. For each stat that can be compared, the higher one of the two will be highlighted.

Yeah, there's a speed difference because I'm only pulling one country (two if comparing) per page. In NSEconomy, the script pulls the entire region of countries at one time.

OMG i did not notice that that is so cool

This is really fantstic! But I have one question, I noticed that for Commerce Heights they have their symbol for they money just as they do on NSE, but I was wondering if it's possible to somehow change your own symbol, I figure this is a long shot because I know you can't on NSE, but hey, it's already suprised me a couple times. :)

Wow very nice. Morvonia AHAHHAHAHA! You have OTHER for a percent choice. Real nice to commerce huh?

Awesome. In the sig.

Actually, NSE converts certain currency names into special characters. I went through that chunk of code and redid the special symbols. If your nation's currency is one of these names, then it'll use the special character:

simoleon: §
yen: ¥
currency: ¤
pound: £
cent: ¢
euro: €
dollar: $
florin: ƒ
peso: $
franc: ₣
real: R$
yuan: 元
kroner: kr
guilder: ƒ
shekel: ₪
lire: ₤
won: ₩
ruble: руЯ

You have OTHER for a percent choice.

Bleh, stupid pie chart software keeps throwing in that "OTHER" category. I'll have to tweak the code a bit...

I noticed that too, though, I really didn't see it as a problem because if you look at it the "others" are those categories that are under one or two percent I think.

I've taken the source code from NSEconomy, made a few changes, and created NSTracker: http://nstracker.retrogade.com

Nice. So this is GPL'd - where can we get a copy of the source code?

I've modified the currency symbols a bit. If your currency doesn't have a special symbol, it now shows the first letter and the dollar sign. For example, if your currency is the Widget, then your symbol is W$.

Nice. So this is GPL'd - where can we get a copy of the source code?

NSTracker's still at an early stage, and the code is quite messy. I'll be culling the code down over time and making everything more understandable before I release the source. I will release it eventually, though.

Bloody hell! For what is, apparently, a crude and "messy" early version, this is brilliant! Fantastic job mate.

Great job. The graph makes it easy to see that I'm spending way too much on Law and Order. :p

Nice, its much easier understanding data with NST than NSE.

Cool! It recognized the symbol of our currency just by its name.

Wow. This is a great NS Tracker. It will kick the asses of Thirdgreek.

I've just finished a major code revamp for NSTracker. The code itself is much more efficient, and I've made extensive use of style sheets to make the page look MUCH better. Tell me if there's any fonts/colors that you don't like!

Oh, and a bit of bad news. Turns out I fudged some of the data saving code. So I had to erase the currently saved records. No biggie (good thing I caught it now instead of later!), this just means that anyone that's signed up now won't be able to view charts until August 22 (Monday) after noon Eastern time.

Erm, it looks the same as before you updated it...

Apologies to my colleague, but this is exactly the sort of thing that belongs in Gameplay. Moved.

Splendid job, Fostonia. Well done!

One of the more common currencies I didn't see on your list is the 'credit'. Lots of modern and future nations seem to like that one. The common abbreviation is typically the lowercase {cr}.

Thank you! This is the first time I've understood what's going on in my nations. The comparison function is soup-oib! *closes schools, arms students, enforces prayers in one, while opening schools, dismissing army, banning religion in the other.*

Uber job well done

I'm sure this crops up here. (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=301573)

"Miscellaneous issues involving use of the NS World game engine" and "Discussion of methods that people use to occupy their time in the Game" sound about right.

Although I am not Fris, and only Fris can speak for Fris. I can only guess.

Yeah, I made a little tweak late last night. I saw when the stats rolled over to the next day, so I went and adjusted the dates on the records so that anyone who registered trackers before whenever NS updated the nations last night now has two records, and can view line graphs. Yay!

One of the perks of my recent code revamp is built-in support for displaying an infinite number of nations. So I'm going to work on a compressed (no pie graphs, smaller columns) display for comparing 3 or more nations at one time. I'll post here again when I'm done with that.

BTW, anyone who was using NSTracker before the layout update: are you seeing the new layout now? (Old layout was white background with plain text, new layout is gray background with sans-serif text) Vuhifellian was having problems earlier this morning with the old layout still coming up; I'm pretty sure it was just a browser cache issue, though.

Fixed. :D

The new background is working for me.

i see it just fine. looks a lot cooler then thirdgeek's one

Okay, more changes. Now you can compare up to 6 different nations together. To do this, click the "Compare more nations" link in the Compare Nation section, and enter up to 5 nations to compare. When you compare multiple nations, you'll see a much more reduced format (to save space): no flag, smaller nation info section, no pie charts, no graph links.

You can have NSTracker show smaller numbers in the data display. For example, "$127,313,630,510.34" becomes "$127.31 billion". To do this, click the "Show short numbers" link near the bottom of the page. To show long numbers again, click that link again (now it'll be "Show full numbers"). Cookies are used to store this setting.

We passed the 100-nation-trackers mark today! :D

wow sweet

Okay, I've finished the final code tweaks and commenting for version 1.0. I'm releasing it under the GPL license, and I'm making a SourceForge project for it. Until I get SF approval, you can download the package here: http://nstracker.retrogade.com/nstracker10.zip. Excerpt from readme.txt:

Upload all of the package files into a folder on your web server. Run
index.php to start the installation script. Enter your MySQL login
details, set up the maximum number of nations to compare at once, and the
script will handle the rest of the SQL setup.

If you want to edit these values at a later time, you can find them in
db.php.

At this point, the database setup will be complete. However, to enable
trackers, you need to add a cron job to your server. You need to set it
so that dataminer.php is run every day, at whichever time you prefer. The
dataminer.php script pulls the tracker info from NationStates.net each day
for the historical records.

Once you've added this cron job, your NSTracker install should be ready to
go!

Excellent tool. Well done!

Hmm. The pie chart for my nation incorrectly lists 51% to commerce and nothing at all to defense. Everything else looks normal though.

Turns out your defense budget is so huge (123.09 trillion) that PHP switched over to exponential notation (1.2308602021577E+14) when it fed the numbers to the pie chart. Whoopsy. I switched the pie chart over to percentages, instead of actual amounts, so that shouldn't happen anymore.

Gameplay is much more than the Invasion game. It also includes graphics (flags and maps), languages (invented or shared), music (there are people who actually compose anthems for their nations!), scripters and tech-wankers (many of whom use those tools for invading/defending, but by no means all), and of course the calculator creators.

There's a good list in NSwiki (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Gameplay), and I'm not just saying that because I wrote most of it.

really, really cool, 'cept it doesn't show me as a UN nation... oh well...

Okay, I've released version 1.1 with some pretty major bug fixes in it. You can find it on the new NSTracker SourceForge page: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=146711

by the way, how do we check other people's tracker's?

Do you mean, viewing graphs for other people's trackers? When you view that person's nation, there should be a "[GRAPH]" link next to each category name that you can view a graph for.

really, really cool, 'cept it doesn't show me as a UN nation... oh well...

Ah, right, because you're a delegate. I didn't realize NS specified that info. But it's fixed now. :D

I may be able to help add to your project, if I come up with any ideas, I'll run them by you.

Wow! This pwns thirdgeek :)
One gripe though. The yellow colour used for my environment pie slice is almost illegible against the grey. White might work better?

Thank you, finally I don´t have to move out of Gatesville everytime I want to update my factbook.

Very nice, stored as favourite.

Ok, the smallest sections of any pie graph (1%) do not show up. On my testing server I changed some variables around in the pie graph script. I changed MinDisplayPercent from 1 to 0. A completed pie looks better. That variable is stored in the phpPie.class.php

I have another suggestion. The page would look much better if it were centered on the page. People tend to look toward the center of their monitor, its just more comfortable.

NSEconomy was deleted because of it??

What did NS economy actually do?

NS Economy was a 'calculator'. It used some highly suspect formula to give notional values for 'GDP' - whatever that means - and other figures for nations. Because there's no game method for determining how much money you have, it was favoured by many members of the NS community as a base for economic RP.

As far as I know, nseconomy is still around. The site seems to be currently down, but the sourceforge page says nothing of it being shut down. The site is probably down due to traffic.

Oh, yea, I see it. It's working :D

Very nice.

Only one quibble
If you click on your government category, and then select Anarchy in the combo box, nothing happens. Probably because Anarchy is the first option. I'd suggest adding --choose a category-- as the first line of the combo box and an offset in the appropiate place in the code, since it appears the thing waits until you change something to load the appropiate data.

Also, if you could select the category by fiddling with the freedoms...

Umm, a problem with the government budget graphs, if you get a high pecentage the key for the graph hides the newest points on the graph, I think the same happens with all the graphs, any way you could fix that?

The NSEconomy Calculator lists national Economic Statistics about each nation, this section begins with that nation's exchange rate and listing all subsequent currency data in standard USD format.

The NSTracker, however, lists Domestic Statistics, including National Currency. It then continues to label all subsequent currency data with this format.

However, the problem is when one considers the regional Economic Statistics section at NSEconomy Calculator.

The first line listed in this section is the Gross Regional Product. This number does not fluctuate when one examines the statistics for each nation in the same region. It follows that this number must be displayed in the same currency for each nation’s statistic page. Summing each nation’s GDP for a region does indeed produce this number. Therefore, each nation’s GDP must be displayed in the same currency.

Since each national Economic Statistics page begins with the nation’s exchange rate, it logically follows that all subsequent currency data is displayed in USD.

And since NSTracker pulls its data from NSEconomy, it follows that ALL currency data for both sites are USD.

Comments?

I have a question. What dependencies does it have other than the GD2 library for drawing the graphics. The reason I ask is that I have it setup and the main Graph works but I can't use the tracker and hence the graphs for various things like GDP, etc.

Sorry about the long hiatus. I had some free time at work today, so I wrote up some new statistics code. Go to http://nstracker.retrogade.com/stats.php to view statistics for all tracked nations, or you can select by nation category (you can also access this by clicking View Statistics at the bottom of any NSTracker page). I'll do a little more work later tonight, then release version 1.2.

Not sure. You'd have to talk to the writers of phPie and PHPlot to see what they require.

I've known about this tool for a while, and it's especially useful now my main country is in a large region. It's also interesting to check out the new stats page - especially seeing what types of government are most popular. You should put up a rankings page where the different categories are ranked by number of nations :D

I've fixed the dates on the bottom of the tracker graphs; instead of showing the entire dates (and having them overlap each other), I've reduced them down to simply the days of the month.

Also, if you could select the category by fiddling with the freedoms...

Alright, you can change the freedoms on the little category pop-up window and it'll figure out which category you want.

Umm, a problem with the government budget graphs, if you get a high pecentage the key for the graph hides the newest points on the graph, I think the same happens with all the graphs, any way you could fix that?

I figured out how to move the legend around, so I've moved it to the top left of the graph. Hopefully that'll work.

I've added a category breakdown to the Overall Stats page, with a pie chart and listings for the various categories.

I'm still not clear why the numbers are converted into national currencies. NSEconomy gives them in USD, and NSTracker, whilst giving the exchange rates, doesn't convert them.

The data for gdp and government budgets are supposed to be standardized into USD (like thirdgeek, the data's the same except the effect of trade deficit/surplus on the economy is removed). the currency abbreviations in front of the data are an unaddressed bug.

Meh. All you need to do is get rid of the currency symbol in front of the budget/GDP values. Trying to convert the values (like cr115 trillion, for example) into USD would create more problems.

I'd suddenly find my GDP almost doubled, for example, because I have a really high exchange rate. Poor nations would have a GDP of only a few dollars because their stats would be divided by 200 or something, because their currencies are weak.

Yes, and the reason you appear to be presenting this as a problem would be... because you don't like realism?

Would you consider a GDP of 1,000,000,000,000 Pesos to be equal to a GDP of 1,000,000,000,000 USD in the real world just because you can erase the units and then they're the same number?

No. The reason why I pointed this out is because I asked a couple of months ago in gameplay about this, and was told that all calculator values are assumed to be in USD.

It is better to have currency conversion. Because not all currencies are equal to the US dollar. In the real world none are. In fact some are worth more and some worth less than other currencies.

But I don't see why an auto converter should be added when all you have to do is take a simple calculator and multiply your budget number by the exchange rate to get your true budget.
It will help with people who tend to use super uber large armies of 150 million.

This is outstanding! Excellent work!

This program is awesome! I hope our peoples can do something nice for you in return sometime. Still, I have one question. The tracker says that 39% of my budget is going for Administration. I haven't seen any other country with numbers anywhere like that. Nor do I remember ever voting on an issue, say, with the option: "Make all bureaucrats millionares." How can this be happening?

Third time this has happened to me now...

It would seem that on a monthly, sometimes two-monthly basis, my economy tanks back to below where it started after the last plummet, and all in one update.

I have identified two issues (Privitised Prisons and Send Debtors to Prison) that cause this enormous drop and have since dismissed them each time they come up. Recently, a third issue caused this again; I cannot identify which one did it.

See below:

It is becoming excessively detrimental to protracted wars I am involved with each time my economy seemingly loses a tenth of its power, especially with parties that enjoy "nickel and diming" your military funding.

Is there a problem with the software, or failing that, has anyone got a list of issues to avoid that cause this amazing downturn?

hello. my state currently has a tax rate of 100%, a GDP of F$917,108,271,297.41, and a budge of F$945,472,444,636.50 government expenditures is F$917,108,271,297.41 and government waste is F$28,364,173,339.09.

My guess is, it's because it's not acceptable to use subsets of humans as national animals or currency. Some people consider "flaming liberals" to be human, though there is some question. j/k *ducks and runs*

Hi ~

It looks great. Well done that man. I am very interested in seeing just how this economic tracker will perform over the next 30 days.

Excellent job. Take a pay rise.

Take two pay rises.

Tracker's not recording any new data points since the server move, I'm stuck at 18 records. Any chance of fixing this?

Yes, it seems to be no longer keeping records since the server move (April 3rd). Will we have to delete and recreate our trackers to continue keeping records?

Um... no.

Commerce Heights's NSEconomy forms the backend for NSTracker but there is alot of frontend stuff that the guy that does it has added in. ie Graphs and history.

Generally I use NSEconomy unless I want graphs and history and then I use NSTracker

this IS sweet... Now I see how much Im wasting... THANKS!

Yeah, this has been a problem for me, too. Is this a server issue? Or do I just need to change my browser settings?

I think it's a global issue with everyone who uses the Tracker.

Well I deleted my old records and restarted the tracker a week ago, but there's no progress. It's still just one day recorded.

The site is dead.

What is the world coming to? First the best calculator NSEconomy craps out, then the 2nd best calculator NSTracker craps out... I guess NSDossier will have to do for now.

It's probably a hosting or DNS issue.....give it time

I fear the host site has lapsed. http://retrogade.com/ The cursed GoDaddy stamp leers there.

grrr everything has crapped out, whats the link for NS dossier?

Everytime I try to search my nation I get an error message which goes on for about 572 lines (I counted them :headbang: ) Can anyone help me ?

Yes, it's what I use. Unfortunately, with the death of both NSEconomy and NSTracker, I get the impression that NSDossier might struggle to cope with the increased demand...

this is an installation of the original NSTracker

Fret not, my friends, for NSTracker is back! Sorry about the downtime, I took down the parent site (Retrogade) a while back because I didn't have enough time or money to maintain the site, and forgot that NSTracker was hosted there too!! Since then, I've brought my personal site back up, and today I added NSTracker to it and restored the old database, so everything should still be there. The new location is: http://nstracker.jfsoftware.com
